“…More recently, these techniques have been combined with automation to improve throughput and reduce the labor involved (Kacmar and Srienc, 2005; Shi et al, 2011). Recent advances in clonal selection based on quality of the bioengineered protein include high‐throughput analysis based on sialic acid content in the bioengineered glycoprotein (Markely et al, 2010; Park et al, 2010). The number of molecules of sialic acid attached to a bioengineered glycoprotein often impacts its biological activity (Kaneko et al, 2006), protease degradation (Goldwasser et al, 1974; Tsuda et al, 1990), serum half‐life (Ngantung et al, 2006), solubility (Sinclair and Elliott, 2005), and thermal denaturation (Goldwasser et al, 1974; Tsuda et al, 1990).…”
